There are so many purposeful interactions that need to take place in order for the cell to regulate itself. These interactions are dependent on intricate structures, which are dependent on sequence of characters in DNA. When you remove one enzyme, the whole system might no longer be able to function. So the problem is that in order for it to work well enough to evolve (reproduce), you need tens of thousands of nucleotides in a proper sequence. It couldn't get there gradually, at least not by mutation and natural selection.
Look out, guys. Irreducible complexity bullshit coming up real soon.
Well do you think that thousands of bases can arrange into a protein coding sequence on their own? Remember, we are talking about what it needs before it can reproduce, so you can't have mutations as an answer because replication errors are the source of changed sequence.
